STEAM-RADIATO R.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 297,325, dated April22, 1884.

Application filed March 8, 1883. (N0 model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CORYDON WHEAT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Geneva. in the county of Ontario and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Steam-Radiators, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying drawings.

My invention has relation to steam-radiators, and its object is toprovide a simple, effective, and inexpensive, as well as ornamental,form of radiator for general use; and the novelty consists in theconstruction of the same, as will be hereinafter more fully described,and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Figure 1 is a perspective elevation of my improved radiator; Fig. 2, avertical sectional view of the sections I, showing the partitions, to behereinafter described. Figs. 3 and 4 represent, respectively,perspective views of modifications of my invention, the latter showingtwo of the parts partly constituting the form shown in Fig. 4 detached;and Fig. 5 represents a vertical sectional view of one of the sections,showing the internal construction of the same and the foot-rests appliedthereto.

A is the terminal or end section, and is provided with bracket-feet a a,on which it rests..

Its top B is formed square, and has a lug, I), cast thereon to receivethe bolt 0. This section A is divided into two compartments, 0 c, by theair-passage D, which extends from the base of the top B to within ashort distance of the base E, and the base itself has a verticalpartition, 6, a portion of which is curved ate, to permit the passage ofthe bolt F. The steam enters through the pipe G, thence ascends, andfollows the direction of the arrows and finds its exit through thedrip-pipe H; or the drip-pipe may be on the opposite side, as indicatedin Fig. 3. Vhen a number of these sections are bolted together, as shownin Fig. l, the extreme end ones are counterparts of each other, whilethe intermediate ones, I I I, are a trifle shorter in length, and ofcourse the legs a a are dispensed with. Each of the sections I has thepartition 6 e, having each longitudinal depressions, between which isformed a passage for the connecting-bolt, and at each side of saidpartition passages t t are formed. The steam passes from one to theother through the whole series, and ascends up one side and down theother, when it finds its escape through the drip-pipe H. The sectionsare provided with recessed faces a, so as to provide a passage for theexternal air between the central portion of each section, and thesetransverse passages are similar in effect and for the same object as thelongitudinal one, D.

P is a foot-rest, which may be cast in any ornamental shape, and itextends upward at an angle from the bottom of the sections, and it has arib or ledge, 19, upon which to rest the heel of the shoe and preventthe feet slipping off, and the whole is secured to the end sections bythe lugs p.

In Figs. 1, 4, and 5 the steam-inlet and drip are located in the sameend of the radiator,

while in Fig. 3 the steam-inlet is located at one end and thesteam-outlet pipe 0 connectswith the opposite end of the radiator. InFig. 4 two of the section-bases are illustrated in detail.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

1. In a radiator, the combination, with the end sections divided intovertical compartments, having a partition in the lower part thereof, andthe intermediate sections having each vertical compartments anddividing-partitions in the lower parts thereof, of the inclined foot andheel rests, the said end and intermediate sections and rests beingsecured together, substantially as described.

2. In a radiator, the combination, with the end sections dividedintovertical compartments, having vertical partitions inthe lower partsthereof, an outlet and a drip pipe, of the intermediate sections havingvertical conipartments, and vertical partitions in the lower partsthereof, the said sections being secured In testimony whereof I affix mysignature in together by bolts passing through lips at the presence oftwo Witnesses. top, and thron h a asszwe' formed between and near thebottoiii of the partitions, and CORYDON 5 provided with the inclined andhorizontal foot \Vitnesses:
